I was trying to do some stuff in Webmin. I just installed a fresh copy of R6... which is looking fantastic... thanks muchly Cecil.

But im having trouble with a few things... First on the list is getting Webmin going. I have tried following the wikki but cant seem to find it. Is webmin installed with R6?

I tried starting from the begining where you change your password -

/opt/webmin/changepass.pl /etc/webmin root your_desired_password

but that bashes out saying no such file.....

thought id try and start to see what happened

/etc/init.d/webmin start

same no such file error.

Am i doing something wrong. I thought it came with R6 like in R5.5.

any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to R6! R6 is much more user friendly to setup these options. Go into the LinHES setup and (IIRC) the Software sub menu. There you will find the 'add-ons' that you want, with a few exceptions. VNC you will still have to add 'old-school', but just do a quick search here and you will see it's painless enough.

When you check the Webmin box in the software menu dos it run a script to install Webmin with Packman or do I have to install Webmin Manually and the script only sets it up. I have a clean install and it dos not seem to matter if the box is checked or not. The "Please wait while I configure box" pops up but it doesn't appear to do anything. I have checked file locations where Webmin should have files installed and so far they are blank. My network connections works fine. Am I missing something simple here.

I think I might have a problem with the LinHES service menu. I have turned on other software in the software menu that initially were turned off like Mythphone, Mythzoneminder and mythmovietime and non of them installed / showed up in the "Information Center" of the main menu. There should be now 9 items in that menu and there is still the original 6. Anyone else run into this problem?

After webmin is installed (whether manually or via the service menu) you must then install webmin as a service, it will start on every boot. Open a terminal on the mythbox with Alt-x and type:

suadd_service.sh webmin

To stop webmin from starting on every boot, open a terminal on the mythbox with Alt-x and type:

suremove_service.sh webmin

After the service is installed you can start the service immediately without rebooting by opening a terminal on the mythbox with Alt-x and type:

susv start webmin

So the proper steps, in order are:
1) install the webmin program (via service menu or manually with pacman)
2) install webmin as a service (with "add_service...")
3) reboot or manually start service (with "sv start...")
4) log in remotely
